Collection: Green Dial Watches

Green dial watches

Green is a dial colour that crosses styles: it looks at home on a dive watch, a dress watch and a skeleton automatic alike. This page gathers the green-dial watches from Citizen, Bulova and Caravelle, for men and women, in cases of steel, gold tone, rose gold tone and bronze.

Automatics

Citizen’s Tsuyosa is a 40 mm automatic whose bracelet runs straight out of the case, with calibre 8210 inside. The Tsuyosa NJ0150-56X is steel with a green dial; the NJ0152-51X is gold tone, the Tsuyosa Shore NJ0232-53X adds 100 m of water resistance, and the Tsuyosa Small Second moves the seconds to a dial of their own, with about 60 hours of reserve. The whole line is on the Citizen Tsuyosa page. From Bulova, the Surveyor 96B427 and 96B429 are 39 mm automatics with faceted cases, the octagonal Marc Anthony Surveyor 96A346 has an opening on the dial over the balance, the Sutton 96A329 and the square Series X2 98A343 have skeleton dials, and the Mil-Ships 98A324 is a 41 mm automatic in bronze, water resistant to 200 m. Caravelle’s Sea Hunter 43B179 is a 39 mm automatic, also rated 200 m.

Eco-Drive and quartz

For sport, Citizen’s Promaster Diver BN0199-53X is a 45 mm ISO-compliant diver on a steel bracelet, the Promaster Dive BN0262-59W pairs its green dial with gold tone at 41 mm, and the Promaster Land U822 JV1005-02W puts world time, an alarm and a perpetual calendar on a Cordura strap. The Perpetual Chrono A-T CB5919-00X sets a green dial in a rose gold-tone case on leather. For dress, the Citizen Odyn BM7633-81X has a 41 mm octagonal case in rose gold tone, the Peyten BM7530-50X is a 41 mm three-hand on steel with a sapphire crystal, and Bulova’s Super Seville comes at 35 and 37.5 mm in its 1970s cushion shape, with a Precisionist movement whose seconds hand sweeps instead of ticking.

For women

The smallest green dials are Bulova’s. The Goddess of Time 97L184 is a 17 mm gold-tone tonneau with a malachite dial, and the Surveyor 98L329 is a 22.7 mm two-tone mini with a sculpted case. Citizen’s L Rainell EM1203-57X is a 26 mm Eco-Drive in rose gold tone, under a sapphire crystal.

Picking a case colour

Green changes with the metal around it. Silver-tone steel keeps it crisp and sporty. Gold tone and rose gold tone warm it up and push it toward dress. Bronze, on the Mil-Ships, forms a natural patina over time, so the case changes as it ages. For one watch to wear every day, a green dial on a steel bracelet, such as the Tsuyosa or the Peyten, is the easiest choice. Bulova’s faceted Surveyor line has green dials in sizes for men and women.
